A table with flowers stands on the street as part of Good Friday celebrations in Aracataca, the hometown of late Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez in Colombia's Caribbean coast, Friday, April 18, 2014. Since the author died Thursday at the age of 87, residents and holiday makers have been flocking to the home where he was born and raised by his maternal grandparents until the age of 8, paying their final respects to a man who was a symbol of pride for a country long torn by violence.
